SingTel drops fibre connectivity costs for businesses

Businesses can now look forward to even faster internet connection with Singtel’s new fibre optic service at lower prices.

Ms Chan Yim Leng, SingTel’s Vice President of Business Products, said: “In the market today, businesses typically pay about $500 per month for a 10 Mbps copper connection to their private office network. They can now enjoy up to ten times the speed at around the same price with this new fibre-based service.

Singtel expects the new high-speed service will benefit businesses greatly in using cloud computing and other bandwidth hungry infocomm applications such as high-definition video conferencing.

The service is called Meg@POP eLite and offers symmetrical speeds of up to 100 Mbps, with the capability of scaling up to 1 Gbps in the future.

“With Meg@POP eLite, SMEs can enjoy powerful ICT solutions and business software that only large companies could afford in the past. These solutions allow them to avoid heavy upfront investments in ICT infrastructure and maintenance costs, while improving productivity and simplifying business operations,” Ms Chan added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
